Thanks! Wishes always help! :)

My dd is a L9. She broke her 5th metatarsal in her left foot almost six weeks ago coming out of a twist on floor. She was in a cast for three weeks and the bone was healing very well at that point. She was then given a boot for three weeks. It comes off on Wed. DD has been going in for some...

I am putting together different ways to condition with a broken foot. My daughter, L9, will be in a cast for two more weeks and then a boot for three and she is looking for a structured conditioning plan. Any thoughts would be great. Thanks!

DD (13, almost 14) just became a L9 and the season is starting. She was on fire during the summer and got all of her L9 skills. All of a sudden she started losing them one by one (she had a bad fall, so I think that was the starter). Now she says she doesn't want to do college gymnastics and...

Hi. Our gym closes for 10 days at the end of June and the end of August. Just wondering if any of your gymnasts do anything to keep up their skills when your gym closes. Conditioning is easy, but what about skills?

Thanks. When do you use the Preparation H?

DD L8 has been training hard for regionals and her hands are a mess. They are really hurting, and limited her practice on bars this morning. She has practice again tonight and has to train until Saturday's competition. She has tried tea bags, used Bag Balm (which is usually great btw,) and...

Good point. Thanks!
